RAPID TECHNO-ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR<br />

DEVELOPMENT OF COLACHEL PORT AT TAMILNADU<br />

FINAL REPORT<br />

As far as the zone closest to the port is concerned, in the stretch of land between this area and the NH47 there<br />

are many minor roads that connect the various towns that are found there. There are also numerous access roads<br />

to plantations and housings.<br />

7.6.2. Rail links<br />

The closest railway line is the one that connects Kanyakumari in the south to the State of Kerala in the north. This<br />

single broad gauge track runs approximately 9.5 km from the place in which the port is envisaged. This is the<br />

line the port will have to connect to, if cargo is to be brought in by rail.<br />

There is also a single track that runs from Nagercoil towards the rest of the State of Tamil Nadu, which would<br />

facilitate the connection to the port's area of influence. It is expected that a second track will be added in the<br />

near future.<br />
